Today was a beautiful day (we actually saw sunshine), and we took full advantage!
We explored Lauterbrunner Valley, which usually has a few waterfalls, but because of all the recent rain. There were waterfalls everywhere. At one point we could see 16 waterfalls.




After two hours of walking, we caught a cable car up the mountains to Gimmelwald, a really cute little town. We ate some pizza outdoors and watched waterfalls as we did it. We liked this town the most, because it was small and did not have the crowds you would find in other towns.


After that we continued up even higher, taking another cable car to Murren. By then we were up in the clouds.




We could have gone a little higher, but the next one up was literally snowing, so we walked down to Gimmelwald and caught a cable car down to the valley. The train ride back was jam packed, and we had to stand like cattle back to Interlaken. We wandered around by our hotel, which sits directly next to the river.



We finished the evening off with some laundry.
Just a side note, we are at our half way point of the trip! 12 days and 5 more cities to see!
At the halfway point, we have these observations: Belgian chocolate is better. If we had to go back to any city, we would pick Bruges. Lastly, if we came back to Switzerland, we would stay up in the mountains (and avoid crowded trains and buses).
